Hello,
My issue is regarding the little Social Media links you get under your name.
I can't seem to get the Youtube one right - When I go to my channel, the URL says Channel/uidbhfsyevfisvef (that's a random string),
BUT, clicking the link underneath my picture takes me to User/we4bfgsiubfiub (Another random string).

How do I find my User URL? Or is this a case of the site needs to update that to Channel as opposed to User?


Thank you
 
I subscrite to Tested, my subscription URL is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiDJtJKMICpb9B1qf7qjEOA but when I signed out of YouTube and clicked "browse all channels" and searched for Tested and clicked on the channel the URL is different https://www.youtube.com/user/testedcom but they go to the same place. If that doesn't work for you or is not what you are asking for then I would be at a loss. I hope this helps...don't hate me if it doesn't work for you lol.

I can't find my user URL, I have a few different accounts but none of them show a User URL, only Channel URLs :(

FANGS have you made any progress with this?
Sorry to be a pain if you're busy

To my knowledge, the problem is that YouTube changed that, so now there is only /channel/ and /c/. You can no longer create /user/, unless you did it earlier, before they changed it.
Problem is now with the forum, as it redirects only to the old /user/.

That is correct. Considering that youtube seems to be pushing toward channel now instead of user, we can certainly update the code, but I think it is likely to create issues with existing URLs.
